Catalyst Hardware Tech.

Catalyst Hardware Tech. is located at No. 335 in East Laxmi Market. Despite the name sounding a bit modern, we are just a regular hardware shop. The place is full of rows of metal bins and wooden shelves holding all kinds of screws, bolts, and handles. It’s a bit of a tight fit inside, especially if we have a few customers at once. East Laxmi Market is always buzzing with activity, and we’ve been a part of it for some time now. We don't have any polished marketing or a fancy showroom floor. Most of the time, I’m sitting behind a counter that's seen better days, writing out slips for small orders. We get a lot of local handymen and builders who stop by because they know we keep a good range of the basics. It’s often hot in the shop during the summer months, but we just keep the door open and the fan running. We don’t spend a lot of time worrying about how the shop looks as long as we can find what people are looking for. Sometimes the inventory gets a bit mixed up, and we have to spend an afternoon sorting through boxes. It’s a simple, no-frills business. We open up early, talk to our neighbors, and help our customers get their hardware sorted so they can get back to work.
